Sometimes we honour traditions without realising why we actually remember them. We even refer to things on a daily basis without comprehending their origin. For example, do we even know why the days of the week are called "Monday, Tuesday etc?"
And how about September? Septem actually means 7, but is September the seventh month? No it's not! So why do we mark this month as September (seven), when it is actually the ninth month of the year. Good question? For the answer you will have to click here.
But, the real question for me, is "Is the Church like this in any way?" Are their elements of the way we 'do church' that make no sense to us, but we do them anyway?
What are some of these things?
Matthew 15:3 - Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
Don't get me wrong - there are some traditions that are important and rich in heritage and vital for the life of the Church. But, there are a few that we need to scrutinise.
